I do not think it is necessary. The docker image we provide is only for starting a kvrocks service, not a redis client.

You can build a docker image only for redis-cli, find one in the docker hub, or use redis-cli in your host environment.

BTW, we do not encourage anyone to modify the entrypoint of the docker image and use other binaries in the image. It is literally only for one binary, i.e. bin/kvrocks.

We don't need to modify the entrypoint, I think redis-cli can be added to the bin directory, so that for some people who are new to the database, it is very convenient (enter the docker container to run bin/redis-cli) to execute some redis commands to interact with the database. Moreover, the same is true for mysql, redis, iotdb, etc. that I know.

When you "enter" the docker container via shell (docker exec), you changed the entrypoint of the docker image from bin/kvrocks to bash (or the posix shell, whatever).

We do not expect users to do this.

Another thing is that, seems there is no package in ubuntu for a single redis-cli.
